The Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange (WEDI) urged the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in a letter dated June 4 to take action to minimize disruption within the healthcare industry from the ICD-10 delay.

"It is critical that HHS work with private industry to establish credibility in a new compliance date by focusing on critical issues ... Absent these actions, we are concerned that implementation of the code sets will continue to be protracted, adding needless administrative burden and cost to the industry," Devin Jopp, WEDI president and CEO, said in an announcement.
